Disability Support Agency Serving Newport and Lincoln County
Newport is the heart of the central Oregon Coast — the seat of Lincoln County, home to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the historic Nye Beach district, and the working waterfront of Yaquina Bay. With a population of roughly 10,000, it serves as the medical, commercial, and cultural hub for a string of coastal communities stretching from Lincoln City to Waldport. But like much of the coast, Lincoln County has long had fewer disability service provider options than the communities of the Willamette Valley or the Portland metro. North Star Oregon is here to help close that gap, delivering dependable in-home attendant care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Lincoln County.
Families in Newport navigating the I/DD service system typically begin with Lincoln County Developmental Disabilities Services, the Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) that handles eligibility and case management under contract with the State of Oregon. The county's office is located at 36 SW Nye Street, Newport, OR 97365 (phone: 541-265-0482). Whether you're already working with a service coordinator there or just beginning the eligibility process, North Star Oregon can work alongside your team to build a care plan that fits your life.
Living on the coast means beautiful surroundings — but it also means geographic distance from larger service centers. Corvallis, the nearest mid-valley city, is about an hour east over the Coast Range on Highway 20. That distance makes it critical that families in Newport have access to high-quality disability support without leaving their community. North Star Oregon provides that support, bringing statewide experience to a region that deserves more choices.

Coastal Families Deserve More Choices
Lincoln County's roughly 50,000 residents are spread along a narrow strip of coastline and the forested hills behind it, from Lincoln City in the north to Yachats in the south. For families raising a child with a developmental disability — or adults living independently with I/DD — the limited number of local providers can feel like a dead end. North Star Oregon was founded to close exactly these kinds of gaps, offering in-home attendant care coordinated through Oregon's K-Plan and the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS). Our services in Newport are available to anyone eligible under the ODDS service system. If you're connected with a case manager at Lincoln County Developmental Disabilities Services, we can integrate directly with your existing support team. If you're new to the process, we'll help you understand your options and get started.
Trust Built for a Tight-Knit Coast Community
In a close-knit community like Newport, reputation matters. You're not just hiring a provider — you're inviting someone into your home, into your routine, into your family's daily life. Every North Star Oregon support worker is trained, background-checked, and carefully matched to the individual they serve. We prioritize consistency because we know that familiar, reliable support workers make all the difference — especially in a community where word travels fast and trust is earned, not assumed.
In-Home Attendant Care Services in Newport, Oregon
In-home attendant care is North Star Oregon's core service in Newport. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in Lincoln County, attendant care delivers one-on-one support in the comfort of home — covering daily living tasks, personal care, skill building, and community access. On the Oregon Coast, where specialized facilities may be an hour or more away over the Coast Range, having a trained support worker come to you isn't just convenient — it's essential.
Whether it's helping with morning routines, preparing meals, supporting a walk along Nye Beach or a visit to the Newport Public Library, or providing transportation to medical appointments at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, our attendant care team is built for the long term. We don't do one-off shifts. We build relationships — the kind that matter in a community where people look out for each other.
